Mission & Focus Areas
Adventist HealthCare’s stated mission is “We extend God’s care through the ministry of physical, mental and spiritual healing.” Its 2024 filing says it provides care regardless of patients’ ability to pay, seeks to increase access to care and promote health equity and well-being, and partners with local nonprofits addressing social determinants of health.
The Community Partnership Fund offers event sponsorships and one-year programmatic grants. Its website says eligible requests must address documented health disparities or inequities, have measurable community impact, serve populations in Montgomery or Prince George’s County, and align with a funding priority. The fund’s priorities are informed by its Community Health Needs Assessment.
The 2024 grants included support for nursing education, youth mentoring, STEM education, research, community mental health, health fairs and outreach, and access to care for uninsured, underinsured and underserved populations. Among the grantees, Montgomery College Foundation says it provides resources to advance Montgomery College’s mission to transform student lives and enrich diverse communities. Washington Adventist University describes itself as a learning community committed to a Seventh-day Adventist Christian vision of excellence and service. BioHealth Innovation says it connects research assets with funding, management and markets to support commercially viable health products and companies. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not Adventist HealthCare’s.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2024, Adventist HealthCare reported 47 grants totaling $1,200,494. Grant amounts ranged from $6,000 to $225,000, with a median of $10,000. The largest awards included $225,000 to Columbia Union Conference for mission work, youth ministry, and health and wellness outreach; $146,706 to US Dream Academy Inc. for a virtual mentoring and college and career readiness project; $139,930 to Montgomery College Foundation for nursing student scholarships; and $120,000 to Washington Adventist University to support the growth and development of its nursing programs.
Other reported awards included $28,928 to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for psychedelic research; $28,000 to Takoma Academy for its STEM program; $25,000 to BioHealth Innovation for research; and $24,000 to Identity for community mental health programming. Awards of $20,000 included support for American Diversity Group’s health fairs and outreach, Mansfield Kaseman Health Clinic’s work raising awareness of services for uninsured and underinsured people, Mary’s Center’s comprehensive care for communities excluded from traditional healthcare systems, and Mercy Health Clinic’s work to reduce healthcare disparities in Montgomery County.
The Community Partnership Fund offers event sponsorships of up to $5,000 and program grants above $5,000. Its website says first-time program applicants are funded between $5,000 and $10,000. Organizations may receive only one grant or sponsorship per year and apply in only one funding cycle per year. Awardees must report on their work: sponsorship recipients submit a final report within 30 days of the event, while program grantees submit a six-month progress report and a final report within 30 days after the program ends.
